Polygraph Exams for Civil Litigation Support
Civil litigation often comes down to one thing: credibility. Whether you’re pursuing or defending a claim, the truth matters—and polygraph testing can be a powerful tool in establishing it.
At Spectrum Polygraph Services, we provide confidential polygraph exams that support attorneys and clients across a wide range of civil cases in California.
When Is a Polygraph Useful in Civil Litigation?
While lie detector results are not automatically admissible in court, they can serve as:
- Supporting evidence during negotiations
- Tools for discovery or settlement leverage
- Credibility confirmation for witnesses or plaintiffs
- Private validation before taking legal action
Attorneys often use polygraph exams to strengthen affidavits, rebut false claims, or demonstrate good faith.
Common Civil Cases That Benefit from Polygraph Testing
✅ Defamation & Libel
Use a polygraph to show the truthfulness of your statements or refute false accusations made publicly or online.
✅ Workplace Harassment or Misconduct
In high-conflict employment cases, a polygraph exam can help establish who is being honest.
✅ Fraud or Contract Disputes
Was a document forged? Did a party misrepresent key facts? A lie detector test helps clarify intent.
✅ Restraining Order or Domestic Disputes
When one party claims threats or abuse, a polygraph can offer supporting evidence for or against those claims.
✅ Child Custody and Family Law
Verify or disprove allegations of unfit parenting, drug use, or violent behavior.
